01What changes in Darwin
NT WorkSafe explains that the Electrical Safety Act 2022 commenced on 1 July 2024 and that April 2026 amendments exempted specified like-for-like replacements from the Certificate of Compliance requirement. It says alterations and additions require a CoC, the contractor remains liable for certificates signed on its behalf, and copies go to the required parties.
Darwin campaigns should use those current rules rather than older generic certificate copy. Palmerston and Casuarina may fit normal dispatch, while Howard Springs and Humpty Doo can need separate travel, call-out and appointment conditions.
